[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 590363"] It's an interesting analogy, but in what way has Guion elevated the play of the D-Line personnel who have competed with him for snaps over these past 16 games? I'm not seeing it. Pennel now is the same guy we saw in preseason. Boyd still can't cut it at NT. Guion gets snaps at 3-tech in nickel opposite Daniels that should belong exclusively to some combination of Datone Jones, Boyd and Neal. Those guys are playing just about as they played in the past; Guion's "competition" has not elevated their play. Besides, when a guy signs a new long term deal (if that in fact happens with Guion), he's expected to start unless there's a fall off in performance (e.g., Hawk) or an injury opens the door for another guy (e.g., Tretter/Linsley). It would take a dramatic development to displace an incumbent starter under a new contract, such as a high pick who plays lights out in preseason. But teams don't usually spend high picks at a position when they just signed a vet starter to that new deal. "Competition" is for roster spots among the second tier guys and mid-to-low round rookies and rookie free agents, or among players where there is no established starter, or for a spot where the incumbent's play leaves something to be desired.
